Just so you know, the Latent Dirichlet Allocation is very much a Bayesian model, as it says in the original paper's abstract [1] (first google hit).

(LDA is a bit of an overloaded acronym in machine learning, but I'm assuming that's what you mean.)

You can check out mahout implementation to see differences as well. LDA isn't supervised/trained.

Thanks for pointing that out, but i was speaking more of concrete algorithm implementation rather than abstracts.
